Of course gospels describing Jesus death and resurrection weren't written before those events. That the authors didn't meet Jesus themselves isn't relevant, they wrote based on information they received from people who know Jesus.

That's right.......that's what the article say....the reports are based on distant hearsay.

Ever played the game of telephone with a group of friends?

Add to this that none of the original gospel manuscripts exist; we only have copies of copies.

We only have copies of copies of almost all ancient manuscripts. The oldest manuscript of the OT for example only goes back a little over 1000 years.


More dilution of the truth.

The consensus of many biblical historians put the dating of the earliest Gospel, that of Mark, at sometime after 70 C.E., and the last Gospel, John after 90 C.E. [Pagels, 1995; Helms]. This would make it some 40 years after the alleged crucifixion of Jesus ...

First 40 years isn't that long. Second, the view they were written before 70CE is gaining ground among scholars.


It isn't now but it was back then when there were no communication devises. Even paper hadn't been invented then....they were writing on parchment.

I don't have the time to continue picking at that shoddy essay. I'll just close by saying like most atheist writings its written to deceive the gullible.

I understand. ;-)
